لبيروت (Li Beirut)

“A greeting from my heart to Beirut

kisses to the sea and to the houses

to a rock shaped like an old sailor’s face

She is wine from the people’s soul

She is bread and Jasmine from their sweat

So how does her taste become? A taste of fire and smoke…” Lebanese singer Fairuz

How do we mourn loss upon loss?
